Answer:
Mass = 112.54 g
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Mass of copper = 18 g
How much copper(II) nitrate formed = ?
Solution:
Cu + 2AgNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag
Number of moles of copper:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 18 g/ 29 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.6 mol
Now we will compare the moles of Cu with Cu(NO₃)₂ .
Cu : Cu(NO₃)₂
1 : 1
0.6 : 0.6
Mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ :
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.6 mol × 187.56 g/mol
Mass = 112.54 g
